Turbo, Airball, and Mariano Cash Big in Chaotic Friday Stream
The October 3 Hustler Casino Live high-stakes cash game brought wild bluffs, monster pots, and emotional swings as poker vloggers Rampage and Mariano Grandoli battled alongside Nik Airball, Turbo, Big Mike, Francisco, and Dimitri.
Rampage was at the center of many major pots — but by the end of the night, he finished as the biggest loser, down more than $215,000 after a roller-coaster session that kept viewers glued to the action.
Rampage Fires Early and Often
Early on, Rampage’s A♥Q♦ clashed with Turbo’s A♣K♠ for his entire $21,225 stack. The board ran clean for Turbo, forcing Rampage to reload almost immediately.
He bounced back minutes later against Nik Airball. With the board 7♣6♠4♠–9♦–Q♠, Airball had flopped a straight with 5♥3♥, but the 9♦ turn gave Rampage (10♦8♠) the nuts. After Rampage checked the river, Airball shoved for more than three times the pot, and Rampage snap-called to get back to even.
“I’ve Never Folded This Hand in My Life”
Still in the first hour, Turbo straddled and opened to $900 with Q♥Q♦. From the small blind, Rampage three-bet to $4,500 with A♥K♦. Deep-stacked, Turbo made a small four-bet to $11,000 — and Rampage surprised the table by folding.
“I’ve never folded this hand pre-flop in my life,” he laughed as he mucked. Turbo shot back, “F**k, I need to jam more against you!” and Nik Airball added, “You folded ace-king?! … That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard, bro.”
Airball Heats Up
From there, Nik Airball went on a heater. In a four-bet pot versus Big Mike, Airball’s K♣8♣ made a river flush on Q♠2♣3♣–7♥–J♣, beating Big Mike’s A♣6♣ (ace-high). He then three-bet A♥10♣ against Dimitri’s A♠J♠, bet $4,000 on 2♣6♦10♥, and snapped off a shove when the 10♦ turned — leaving Dimitri drawing dead.
Moments later, Airball opened the button with 7♥5♣, called a three-bet from Big Mike’s Q♠Q♣, then hit trips on 3♠7♠7♦. After continued pressure on the 2♣ turn and a jam on the 6♣ river, Big Mike called and shipped $16,500 more to Airball.
When a bounty side game kicked in, Airball open-jammed A♣K♥ to cover the table. Mariano snap-called $44,500 in the big blind with 9♠9♥ to set up a near $90,000 flip. The board K♠Q♦3♥Q♠4♠ favored Airball, who stacked the pot and the bounty.
Rampage vs. Mariano: The Vlogger Showdown
Their first clash saw Rampage’s K♥K♣ trap Mariano’s J♠J♣ on 6♥7♥6♦–6♣–10♦ for a massive double-up, an **$80K+**pot.
In Round 2, with the double straddle on, Airball raised K♥J♣, Rampage called with A♦J♦, and Francisco called with 5♥5♣. From the second straddle, Mariano squeezed to $15,000 with 8♣4♣; only Rampage continued. On Q♦4♠8♦, Mariano bet $12,000, Rampage shoved $64,700, and Mariano quickly called. They agreed to run it once — the 4♦ turn filled Mariano up while completing Rampage’s flush, and Mariano collected a $163,500 pot.
About 45 minutes later, they tangled again. Big Mike opened J♦5♦; Rampage three-bet the button with A♣K♦; Marianofour-bet to $8,800 with Q♠J♠. Heads-up to 5♣4♣10♠, Mariano fired $10,000; on the 4♦ turn, $38,000 more; and on the 6♦river, $60,000. After a long tank, Rampage folded, and Mariano dragged another six-figure pot.
Francisco’s Rough Night
Francisco called off a four-bet with 9♠9♥ versus Big Mike’s Q♠Q♣ and lost a $107,300 pot. Later, Turbo’s A♥A♦ beat Francisco’s K♠K♣ for $108,800. With his next bullet at $22,150, Airball’s 9♠9♥ made a full house against K♣Q♦ on Q♠9♦10♠A♦A♣. He eventually jammed $19,500 preflop with A♠K♣ and lost to Big Mike’s 8♣4♣, which turned a flush.
Final Results
Turbo finished as the biggest winner at +$140,600. Nik Airball (+$113,600) and Mariano Grandoli (+$112,975) also booked six-figure wins.
Rampage ended as the biggest loser at -$215,000, with Francisco at -$186,000 — a night defined by rapid-fire action and huge swings.
